Yup, this is working as designed... The extra byte approach works, but it's ugly and hard to deal with at 3am.... The CMD object eliminates the problem completely... -----Original Message----- From: midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Jeff Young Sent: Thursday, December 07, 2006 9:33 AM To: midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Odd problem with SBMJOB from CLLE pgm I have a CLLE program that has a variable of 150 char. This is passed to / from an RPGLE program that it calls. The program then passes this on a SBMJOB command to a batch program. I verified that the variable *did* have the full length allocated, with blanks at the end. I know that if I use a constant, and the length of the parm expected is > 32 I need to fill the rest with blanks, but using a CL Variable declared with the correct length, the SBMJOB command truncates the value by trimming trailing blanks when passing it to the batch. I determined this by checking the job log for the batch job to see the values being passed. I have a work around for this by creating another variable with 151 bytes and placing an "*" in pos 151, then using that on the SBMJOB. Is this normal?
